The Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger has passed, and what greets the textile market is the mixed ups and downs on the cost side, as well as the price of gray fabrics that has to rise due to high cost pressure in order to seek profits. However, judging from the market trend at the end of last year, one thing that textile people are particularly concerned about is whether the artificial silk market will usher in a wave of market this year. Judging from the current situation, this market is likely to come soon.
Simulated silk comes alive
Before the Spring Festival, some business owners bluntly said that the artificial silk market was beginning to improve. At that time, the boss who mainly sells imitation silk said: “Recently, imitation silk has performed relatively well in domestic sales. Some raw materials of certain specifications still need to be queued up to buy, and once you line up, they will not be shipped to you all at once.” Some foreign trade companies also said that in terms of foreign trade, artificial silk is also improving.
From the end of last year to now, it is the time when artificial silk should shine. In the changing market environment last year, the rise of artificial silk is also a boost for textile people. Two days ago, the editor also visited textile companies after the market opened. Mr. Yang, another company that specializes in imitation silk, also said: “Imitation silk will definitely be better in the future. No matter what, there will be such a wave every year. Gray cloth The price has also gone up a bit, and may continue to rise in the future. The recent market conditions for SPH and SPH card breaking have been pretty good.”
The editor also learned that a company started to produce Huayao crepe stock a few years ago. After asking, I found out that because the business was good, the factory had no stock, and the delivery of spring and summer fabrics had already begun. I had to take some time off during the New Year holiday, so I rushed to start production before the Spring Festival. After the market fully resumes work after the Spring Festival, Huayao Crepe can sell all the products without leaving any inventory. Huayao crepe is also a type of imitation silk. In addition to the fact that imitation silk was indeed the favorite in the first half of the year, it is also favored by the old customers of this factory.

The cost side also helps
At present, the price of gray fabrics is mostly due to cost factors. The upward trend in prices of upstream textile raw materials actually did not start at the end of the year. Raw material prices began to rise starting in October. As can be seen from the data in the table below, raw material prices are still at a relatively high position. After October, the price of raw materials has been affected. Affected by the market situation, the price of raw materials also fell immediately. It was not until the rising cost in late December that the market trend improved, and the price of raw materials began to rise again.
Until the beginning of 2022, raw material prices have increased a lot compared with the previous period, but there is a certain degree of delayed conductivity in upstream and downstream prices. Due to promotions by some factories, raw material prices have also had a downward trend. However, raw material prices have increased slightly since the Spring Festival. Several times, and the cost ends such as crude oil and PTA are also in a state of ups and downs. Perhaps the raw materials will also rise. Simulated silk is basically woven with polyester filament. Polyester filament The increase will inevitably increase the price of imitation silk.
But if we want gray fabrics to have a price and a market, demand is the key factor. Judging from the current situation of visits and surveys, bosses in the market are generally optimistic about the next market. Some bosses said that if raw materials increase as soon as the market opens, the market will be good in the future. In addition, many bosses receive orders as soon as the market opens. Some orders have also increased confidence in the improvement of the imitation silk market for spring and summer fabrics in the coming spring and summer.
After the new year, we will usher in the “Gold, Three, Silver and Four” periods. This time period is originally a hot-selling moment for imitation silk products. With demand and a little time boost, I believe that the imitation silk market will be bright after the year.
